Interested in adding a little excitement to your summer? Want to try dipping your toe into water sports? A day of white water rafting may be exactly what you’re looking for! Our White Water Rafting Program is 2-3 hour trip down the beautiful North Saskatchewan river. The rapids are Class II max, making this a great river for paddlers of all experience levels.

 

Paddle hard and hold on tight as you plunge through rapids; experience the excitement of surfing and bow-dunking rafts; maybe even hop in for an adventurous swim through some

smaller whitewater.

 

Not sure you’ll be comfortable with really big waves? No problem! Anyone wanting to skip the largest rapids are able to hop out and enjoy the show from the shore-line.
